41Viking Metal

You guys don't know what viking metal is - it's a subgenre of black metal with influences from Nordic folk music. But it's not folk metal because folk metal is a subgenre of power metal.Many bands from different metal subgenres use viking lyrical themes but it doesn't mean they are viking metal.Amon Amarth sing about vikings but their music is melodic death metal and not viking metal/black metal. - Metal_Treasure

Viking metal was created by Bathory and it is a sub genre of black metal

Oh for gods sake, this probably doesn't deserve a place in the top five, but 35th place is just ridiculous.

This is real. I'm not making this up. Like, one time I was listening to a Nintendocore song that at first had video game sound effects, but then it had screaming and playing the guitar loud like a screamo band. It's just so surreal.

What the hell is Nintendocore? Laugh out loud.

When I said surreal I meant it in a good way. Not a bad way.

This is not a thing these people do not know what they are talking about

If you like dark depresive and atmospheric stuff this is for you. Bands that I recomend:(EVOKEN is my favorite of all time), funeral, thergothon.

50Dark Metal

It's a genre of metal that takes the piss out of all the metal genres. It is the greatest metal genre of all time, though you'll need a torch or a candle to find one of it's exponents. It is deeply underground.

What is this genre
